Arthrex
InternalBrace Ligament
Augmentation Repair
The InternalBrace is basically a
seat belt for repaired ligaments,
and the rep says there's data
showing that it's helping surgical
patients rehab quicker and get
back into action sooner. It also
helps prevent secondary injuries.
The idea of shielding the repaired
ligament from excessive stress
and helping to augment healing makes sense. It's an interesting
innovation that started with feet and ankles, but there are a
tremendous number of potential applications that cover just
about the entire body.
DePuy Synthes
Purevue
DePuy's Purevue system delivers both HD and 4K images in real
time, with a compact system that combines a light source, an
image processer and local image management into one device.
Images can also be transmitted to secondary surgical displays
